Description

The objective of this technique is to identify the purpose of a link from the link in
its data table context. This context is the table cell enclosing the link and the cell's
associated headings. The data table context provides the purpose for an otherwise
unclear link when the table cell is the nearest enclosing block-level ancestor element.
It lets a user distinguish this link from other links in the Web page that lead to other
destinations and helps the user determine whether to follow the link. Note that simply
providing the URI of the destination is not sufficiently descriptive for people with
disabilities, especially those with cognitive disabilities.

Tests

Procedure

Check that text of the link combined with the text of the associated table
heading describes the purpose of the link.

Expected Results

The above checks are true.

If this is a sufficient technique for a success criterion, failing this test procedure does not necessarily mean that the success criterion has not been satisfied in some other way, only that this technique has not been successfully implemented and can not be used to claim conformance.
